An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

Here Jonah eftsoons telleth what he will do being delivered from his trouble. He will extol, magnify, and set forth the goodness of God.

Here Ionas ef••ones telleth what he wyl do beinge delyuered frome hys trouble. He wyl extolle, magnifie, and sette forthe the goodnes of God.

Then he will perform his vow made, that is to say: live obediently unto the commandment of god. The same must we do, and not use health and quietness as an occasion to sin, liberty, & filthiness of life. Jonah also amendeth the foolish opinion of the Jews that trusted to have obtained remission of their sins by the offering up of the calves & other brute beasts. But Jonah declareth that the Lord delighteth in no sacrifice y• man can do, saving in the sacrifice of thanksgiving. ⟨image 105⟩For only Christ is the sacrifice propitiatory, and he that alone meriteth before god the remission of sin. If then in the time of the shadow, Jonah knew the Lord to accept the sacrifice of the heart and mouth, that was endued with faith, above the sacrifice of the bloody calves, how much more now of us will he do the same above the Idololatricall sacrifice of the Mass? Jonah well trusting of God's mercy and promises, showeth a reason wherefore he will laud and praise the Lord when he cometh out of trouble: and sayeth.

Then he wyll performe hys vowe made, that is to saie: liue obedyentlye vnto the commaū dement of god. The same must we do, and not vse healthe and quyetnes as an occasyon to syn, libertie, & filthines of lyfe. Ionas also amendeth the folish opinion of the Iewes that trusted to haue obtayned remissiō of their sīnes by the offring vp of the calues & other brute beastes. But Ionas declareth that ye Lord deliteth in no sacrifice y• man cā do, fauinge in ye sacrifice of thākesgeuing. ⟨image 105⟩
